Poll: Playoffs Or Lottery?

This was probably the best question from the mailbag, and the one that got me thinking the most. Would you rather see the Nets make the playoffs as the 8th seed (promptly getting swept by the Heat after) or would you rather them have another off year and enter the lottery. Vote here, and explain your vote in the comments. As you may remember, my opinion is that I would love to see the Nets play in the playoffs in an arena they can actually fill up.
